Partition Help query - Colin23erk - 01-25-2016

Following the instructions for mounting a NTFS partition
[/size]
[/size]

Code:
linuxlite@linuxlite-Advent-4211:~$ sudo leafpad /etc/fstab

sudo password for linuxlite: 

(leafpad:10484): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/linuxlite/.config/ibus/bus is not root!

looking it up on the Web > Ask Ubuntu

Quote:
[color=rgb(17, 17, 17)]You should always use gksudo instead of sudo to launch graphical applications otherwise the environmental variables aren't set up correctly.[/color]

Will this prevent me successfully adding

Code:
UUID=01CF855BB41CD3E0 /home/linuxlite/ntfsfiles ntfs defaults,umask=007,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

to the fstab instructions . I do not get any reports when I "Save & Quit " Leafpad

Must be OK just checked and my Data Partition files have appeared in the ntfsfiles folder

Does the Manual need changing to avoid confusion ? Even a Note to say to disregard the **IBUS-WARNING** would allay doubts if the instructions cannot be modified

Hi,

I have seen that...
I think you can see that when you launch GUI type apps.
I read, and ever since used:

Code:
gksu

Either way, you can still edit fstab

I was following the advice given in the LinuxLite Manual >Install>Mounting Drives & Partitions > NTFS and I felt it should be brought to the Manual Writers attention to avoid people thinking they had a problem .
